My work shows scenes and situations of people in their daily lives from the field of documentary photography.

I did the project on Violence in Mexico in 2009 in different cities throughout the country. One of them is Tijuana, a border city where it is easy to see the violence caused by drugtrafficking, kidnapping, prostitution and drug addiction. This violence has also been encouraged by the poverty in which thousands of men and women live. After failing to make their way to the United State, they build metal, cardboard and wooden shacks in the hills or on one side of the wall dividing the two countries. There are well-known neighborhoods where gangs involved in arms dealing and the trafficking of cocaine, marijuana and crystal, a damaging, synthetic drug, operate. Near the Tijuana River Canal, there are groups of addicts that buy, prepare and use heroin on a daily basis. The downtown area is the most popular place for retail drug sales, as well as the prostitution of women and transvestites. At night, police patrol the city and try to fight organized crime, arrest the leaders of drug cartels, confiscate weapons and dismantle underground greenhouses used for growing marihuana.

My photographs show the everyday nature of a prolonged, violent conflict in Mexico in which citizens have been trapped.
